I have a 10-hour flight tomorrow ✈️
Please drop recs for things I can read, listen to, or do — books, longform articles, essays, games, podcasts, random rabbit holes… all welcome!!

Is the destination somewhere new? I love reading about my destination. (I’m actually flying to Singapore day after tomorrow, 16h flight, so if you have any recs on books about it, I’d appreciate them.)

Given how often you travel, I think you’d enjoy Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World. It oversimplifies a bit, but still fun to read and is nice food for thought.

Also, my personal hack for long flights is downloading a couple of this guy’s sound baths. Helps me fall asleep and cleanse my mind of travel stress.

mostly food & travel, sometimes my thoughts

Had read this before going. Put a lot into perspective. It’s a bit of a long read though

Thank you for the rec. I just bought a copy of this. :)

Safe travels back to Austin!

My friend is launching his new jewelry brand in the Asian market and having a runway show in Singapore. I’m going for just long enough to attend that but would love a longer trip sometime, especially to eat all the foods you’ve shared. 🍜

Thank you for the book and sound bath rec! I’m just headed back to Austin.

What’s your plan for Singapore ? :)
